Facebook is scary...

Facebook scares me almost as much as google. I went into my suggested friends list. Like at least 1/4 of the people in there I've had no online connection with, ever. Yet somehow FB knows that ten years ago this guy was my mortgage guy, or 15 years ago this guy did some cabling on my network or something. I wonder who's list I show up on?

An optical of your illusion...

 

This is one of the stranger optial illusions I've seen a quite a while. It's easy. 

1. Stare at the dots on the girls nose for 30 seconds. (Took only about 10 ro 15 for me).

2. Look at any white area of your screen. Such as a white portion of your browser window. 

3. Blink.  

When you blink you will see an image of the girl. But it won't be in negitive. It's in full color.

Are you as tired as I am...

Are you as tired of Congress as I am? Well it's very easy to let them know how you feel. I once was that guy that would bitch about what our government did, but never voiced my opinion. Now I'm sure my congressmen and women have an email rule directing my thoughts to their own folder.  I think the change for me started with I started flying. The aviation community continually gets stepped on. Since we are a small community it's very important to shout a little louder than the rest of the crown. 

Want to write Congress yourself. It's easy. Simply enter your zip code on the House website to find your representative and his or her contact information. On the Senate website, simply select the state from a drop down menu in the upper right corner to be directed to the appropriate contact information.

So, if you want to complain about aviation user fees, or balenced budget, or him/her just looking goofy here's your chance. 

Still waiting...

So I'm still waiting for 5WB's new engine. It's been sitting in the hangar for nearly a month now. Half disassymbled. The cowls are off, I believe at least one cylinder is off and everything is covered up. Pretty sad actually. We should be getting the new engine any day now. I was thinking about going down and talking with Gary personally. Getting info straight from the horses mouth so to speak. Anyway....

Sad but cool...

Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers came home Thursday, April 14 2011, his body borne upon a sea of waving American flags and hands held tightly in salute for the Brandon, MS Marine killed in Afghanistan earlier this month.

The following video is MHP Trooper Elmo Townsend's view as his dash cam recorded the escort from Airport Road and along U.S. 80, as hundreds of onlookers gathered to pay their respects. 

NOTE: Trooper Townsend is NOT driving fast! The video is sped up some to fit the length of the music - the original footage covers about 14 minutes - I thought it was more important to see all of the supporters rather than to see it in real time.

Rest in Peace, Staff Sgt. Jason Rogers.
